35. It is depressing

to have CNN air Pandora's Promise and especially difficult to watch Jim Hansen stridently defend nuclear power. For years he has given outstanding support to environmentalists and scientists around the world as they try to alert us to climate change and how much we need to decrease fossil fuels. After Chernobyl and Fukushima I find it hard to believe that he can call nuclear power a safe alternative. Even without a terrible disaster near a nuclear plant such as Indian Point, we have never found a way to remove nuclear rods or waste.
